Stopped in here on a late Sunday afternoon to have an early dinner with my wife. Pleasantly surprised! It was nice and cool inside. They have a raw oyster bar at the front door! We had the crab cake as well as the clam and muscle fettuccine pasta.. Both are very good! There is an upstairs balcony overlooking the river. We sat downstairs inside the air-conditioning by the bar. We were taken care of by XXXX, a fellow veteran and a gentleman. Very nice chatting with you and you made our experience very nice! read more

9 top but they set for 8 so had to grab our own extra chair and missing a silverware set up Only 8 meals came out - chicken sandwich came out after my friends were halfway done with their meals All alcohol drinks were either wrong or too weak or too strong or sour or were not as requested My fries were raw Crab cakes were frozen and tasted like they had been microwaved Ceiling was dripping over our table into our drinks and food - I had to get my own mayo for a table mate after the server took too long Server looked overwhelmed and lost and didn't understand what we asked for We wanted to sit outside but they said they couldn't accommodate 9 outside No prices on drink menu Food took too long and i believe the server didn't put my blackened chicken sandwich into the kitchen Food all tasted microwaved from frozen DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

The restaurant has a great ambiance but the food was underwhelming. Our waiter was not that knowledgeable and we asked not to bring everything at once (we wanted oysters first before hot food) but hot food came first before oysters. We ordered a half dozen of house oysters plus mookimoto oysters, clam chowder, fried pickles and crap dip. The small mookimoto oysters were good and the clam chowder was pretty good. The fried pickles were super salty and the crab dip was really cheese dip....not much crab. It looked like nachos. This was not what we expected and was not great. Overall we were disappointed with the restaurant. read more

We LOVED this place!! We were on a mission to find all the dog friendly places and this place did not disappoint. You can sit inside or outside with pups. We sat outside but it got chilly, so they quickly let us go inside. An older couple was annoyed that we had dogs and so the staff moved them to another table and apologized to US! As an owner with well behaved dogs I am always so appreciative to be felt like we aren't doing anything wrong. I even told them we can go back outside and they said absolutely not, you're not the problem!! Thank you guys! Now the food!! Also so good, I definitely got my mud bug fix here :) I highly recommend this place! read more

We met with some unfortunate and unexpected hurricane weather on our trip to Savannah. Being from the south I wanted to show my Oregon companion what southern hospitality was really like, Fiddlers lived up to expectations. They welcomed us in from the rain with no reservation , were courteous and friendly. We enjoyed libations along with a few choice appetizers and had a delightful time. The oysters were very fresh and tasty, being a wine drinker I never thought ice cold beer could be so satisfying but they proved that correct, and the gator bites were a wonderfully delightful surprise! We can't wait to visit again and try more items on the menu and enjoy more of the wonderful views from their terrace seating. read more

Stopped into Fiddler's Crab House with two coworkers while in Savannah. We started with oysters and fried crab claws for appetizers. Our waiter, Dan, did a great job walking us through the different oyster options and helping us try a variety instead of just defaulting to one type. Always appreciate a server who actually knows the menu beyond "everything's good." All three of us ended up ordering the grilled red snapper, which was excellent. Fresh, well seasoned, and cooked exactly right. Dan really stood out throughout the meal. Very attentive without hovering, and consistently trying to anticipate needs before we had to ask. Service like that noticeably improves the entire dining experience. Atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and very Savannah waterfront in a good way. Overall experience was excellent from start to finish. Good for: casual dates, families, small children, casual business meals read more

This place was cute- i wish we got a table upstairs so we could look out to the river. Basic fried food, everything tasted the same. It was decent but my favorite were the gator bites and crab dip. read more

Fiddlers is on the riverfront. We were trying to kill time waiting for our riverboat so we hopped in here. We sat out on the upper deck. Ordered the gator bites which were yummy. Nice fried outer crust and now we can say we've had alligator tail. Rock crab claws were offered and I'm always up for some crab. Never tried this kind before. You have to hit them with a spoon to break the shell. It is so hard. (Hence..the name rock!) the waiter had to show me how. Very tasty meat inside. Wish they would give you a seafood pick to get it out easier. I also had a few steamed clams. You order them by the single. 2.50 each. ( I've never done that before. I'm from the PNW and we get the by the lb). We enjoyed our lunch very much read more

My parents and I stopped into Fiddlers Crab House looking for some good seafood meals as we were staying at a nearby hotel. Upon walking in we noticed that they had reserve signs on just about ever table and basically the only thing open was the bar. Fortunately a waitress quickly came over and yanked a sign off a table we were near and she said we could sit. She came back with menus and took our drink order. We noticed others were coming in looking at the reserved signs and seemed confused like us but they were all assured they could go ahead and sit as well. It took a little while for our drinks to arrive and our waitress to come back but I think it was due to an influx of guests and maybe not enough staff at the time. Being from Maryland we love anything to do with blue crab and find it hard to get good crab cakes or crab items outside of Maryland. So when we saw Fried Blue Crab claw appetizer we had to try it. Unfortunately we were let down again. These were the tiniest claws I have ever seen. My Shrimp Po'boy was good. The shrimp were delicious and the roll was tasty. Mom enjoyed her fried oysters and shrimp but dad gambled and lost on the crab stuffed flounder. He said he couldn't taste any crab. Overall it's a nice little spot to grab a meal. read more

Our food was very good and service was good too. Sitting outdoors on the balcony was also a nice experience. It was disappointing that they allow large dogs to accompany people eating - it's unfortunate for anyone who is allergic to dog hair or anyone who isn't keen on eating with pets. (odd that they seated the dog right by us without asking). If you like seafood with dogs, this might be the place for you! read more

Fiddler's is located on the riverfront/River Street. We came for lunch around 1:30, and were seated immediately. Balcony seating is available but it was a 15 minute wait and we didn't care if we ate inside or out. The decor is seafood and sailor oriented. The bricks walls showed the age of the building, which was cool. The sweet tea was good. We ordered gator bites for our appetizer. They were delicious, the breading was really tasty and the dipping sauce was so good. For our entrees, my husband got a shrimp po'boy with fries, and I got a crabcake sandwich with potato salad. We tried each other's sandwiches and we both really liked both of them. The potato salad was creamy and flavorful. I would highly recommend Fiddler's for a riverfront lunch! read more

Fiddler's is a classic restaurant near the Riverwalk in Savannah and I was excited to try it. When we first walked in we were greeted right away and made to feel very welcome which gave us a great first impression. Unfortunately things kind of went downhill after that. Our waitress took quite a while to refill our waters and the service felt a little slow overall. I ordered the mahi tacos and they came out cold like they may have been prepared too early and sat while the rest of our party's food was being finished. We did have a group of 8 so maybe that played a part but it was still disappointing. The mahi tacos were okay 5.8/10. read more

We were seated immediately outside and it was a fabulous view. The night was beautiful and the atmosphere was amazing. For apps we got oysters on the half shell that were delicious, the blue crab quesadillas and steamed crawfish. For main entrees we got the seafood platter and the low country boil. All the food was delicious and service was fast and friendly. For dessert we got the key lime pie and the peach cobbler both are delicious!! A great place to go and enjoy the evening in River street. read more

I was looking for some good seafood went in the south. This place had a welcoming hostess outside with a five dollar coupon. The menu looked pretty good so I thought why not. The crab legs were 1 pound for marketplace, which was $50. I thought that was a little steep as you can get a seafood boil for much less but this is a tourist town. I must say the crab legs or some of the best, sweetest and non-fishy smell I've had in a long time. The bartender took our order, even though all of the tables were closed, and they only had outdoor and upper deck Seating. The special was red snapper, and it was pretty good. The calamari was kind of small and very thinly sliced didn't taste much like calamari at all. The dessert however, knocked it out of the park. read more

Stopped in for a lazy Friday lunch on the outside deck. Service was great and the location was perfect. We ordered a dozen of the house oysters and they were fine for the price with little to no brine which made them kind of sad. The crab dip, on the other hand, arrived in a bread bowl with a ton of chips for dipping, and was very tasty. I had a couple of beers and my wife had a pecan hot cider and an Irish coffee due to fight off the chill in the air. read more

Food was terrible. I had crab cake dinner . Crab cakes tasted AWFUL. Fries were cold and so was the squash/ zucchini vegetable. Portions were very small. Price was $32.00 Never asked how the food was . Overpriced & a tourist trap read more

Sat at their bar and had a great time. Tried an oyster shooter that was very good. Clams were good and the crab we got was great and we're very good portions. Would have loved to stay longer and kept ordering more seafood but they didnt have the out of town hockey game on we wanted. Bartender was nice and gave us some other options where we could catch the game. Very friendly service. read more

I was craving fried oysters.... Ordered an Oyster PoBoy. I was not expecting anything as good as I have had in The Crescent City but wound up with nothing. Our Party of 4 waited about 45 minutes for our food. Mine arrived less than lukewarm and I sent it back. Two of us has Cheeseburgers. These arrived hot, but the french fries were Ccold. My wife had a Salmon Cub sandwich which was ok and since her accompaniments Cole slaw, and Salad did not need to be hot her meal was ok. I sent back my poBoy which they never tried to replace. Ordered new hot fries for the burgers. This is a big place which must crank out a ton of food on weekends. We were there for lunch on a slow day. No excuse for what we received. By the way, no Manager stopped by the table, no apology, no nothing! Tourist trap! Better off at a fast food joint. read more

The two stars are for the location and potential only. This place looks like it would serve amazing steamed, fried, and chargrilled seafood. Does it? Absolutely not!!!! Everything about this place sucks. The drinks are watered down (LITERALLY WATERY!), the service is slow, steamed oysters came out so cold the cheese was already beginning to harden again, even though the fried seafood looked good it was chewy and not seasoned. This experience was truly so bad I didn't want to pay. Would I recommend this place? ABSOLUTELY NOT! read more

We recently went to Savannah and had two dinners at Fiddlers Crab House. we had eaten there a couple of years ago and were disappointed with the level of service. Thanks past weekend, we had two dinners here, two different servers and both were Steller. Whatever their problem was, they have addressed it and made corrections. Food and drinks were amazing and service was great! I recommend giving them a try. read more

Nice place sitting on the balcony over looking the Savannah river for lunch. Good service and the food was good. Had the crab dip and the shrimp po boy. Sandwich was good with a slightly spicy tartare sauce. Food was a little slow coming out, but good overall and a great location to relax and watch the shipping traffic go by in the river. read more

So--you win some; you lose some. Of the spots that I stopped along my walk through Savannah, I'd say this was the most lackluster. As usual, I grabbed a vacant bar seat, and was greeted by the bartender. He was quick to tell me that it was his second day there and knew "nothing about the menu." I wanted to try a few local seafood items, so I ordered steamed shrimp and clams. The shrimp were fairly good, but nothing like gulf shrimp. They were a bit difficult to peel, but overall worth the effort. The clams however--were mussels. Humorously, there were no mussels in the shells. I had to search down in the abundant butter/wine to find the occasional mollusk. Overall, they were a letdown. A younger group sat down at the bar, distracting the bartender, and from that point, service tanked. Luckily, a veteran server saw me waiting to pay my tab, and stepped in. I'm not sure that I would give Fiddler's another shot. read more

Can not say enough good about our server, Dan. He took great care of us and was very personable. Ordered the Steam Pot with crab legs and craw fish.

Definitely the spot to go when craving seafood. read more

Visited during the past cold snap and found the restaurant to be warm and inviting. We started with the crab balls and those were delish! Then we both had the Low Country Boil and it was generous portions. My hubby loved his but i forgot to ask for no old bay seasoning as it makes it too spicy for me. That was totally my fault. Had to scrap off the layer of old bay off the sausages and potatoes. The shrimp cleaned up nicely. Then for desert we had the key lime pie which was very tasty. Definitely recommend a stop here for lunch or dinner or just appetizers. read more

We came here for lunch as a family with 2 kids and a teen. The ambiance was rustic and old time, the menu options were great at good prices for the location. We sat upstairs inside as it was too hot outside. We had the oysters Rockefeller, oyster dinner, octopus and a burger. Service was friendly. We parked across the street in the pay parking lot. This place is recommendable. read more

Very good blackened maui maui tacos! Service was good! Atmosphere was really nice old brick exposed wood beams!

Leslie is hands down the dopest bartender in Savannah. From the second we sat down, she made us feel like locals instead of tourists. She walked us through how to properly do oysters (game changer), and made sure we hit all the must-try Southern staples--fried green tomatoes, gator bites, the whole experience. What really set her apart though was her vibe. Super friendly, hilarious, and just knew her stuff. Before we headed out, she hooked us up with a bomb ass drink that was the perfect send-off. If you're in Savannah and get Leslie behind the bar, you're in for a good time. Absolute legend. read more

Stopped in because we wanted some oysters for lunch and boy did we stop in the right place. We sat on the second floor that had a distant look of the river. My wife and started with Bloody Mary's and oyster shooters. We also ordered a dozen oysters... yum. The plan was to eat light but we were on a roll. After the oysters we ordered the fried green tomatoes, they were excellent. We should have stopped there but we ordered the blue crab quesadilla that was not so good. Our server Josh was great but he was given too many tables and the service was slow towards the end. I would definitely come back for the oysters. read more
